Chapter 154: What Adonis wants
The apartment kitchen was opened and runnimg for the first time. Two of the knights were busy cooking food and the other two were standing behind Viktor. They were all enjoying the drama that he missed.
"Um, my lord. How long do you intend to watch tv?" The knight no 2 asked.
"Hm? I\'ll go out after I\'m done eating."
After hearing that, the other two knights quickly served the food and cleaned the dishes. They were all trained to do every household work.
"The food was so-so." Viktor looked at his phone and then turned off the tv. He again said, Let\'s go. It\'s almost 8. I can sense some demi-humans coming in this zone in disguise."
"Understood," all of them chorused and opened the door.
Viktor then walked out and suddenly, he encountered someone. A young lady who was also coming out of the next apartment saw Viktor and started to tremble.
She was trembling in excitement because it was the person that she saw on the newtube almost a hundred times last night.
"You… you\'re the person from newtube… the hybrid.."
Viktor smiled and then said, "Ah… I got caught. Anyway, don\'t tell anyone about my address." He walked past the young lady with his four knights and jumped out the window. The four of them also followed them and suddenly he saw those four knights got white leather wings.
\'Just what kind of clones you\'re creating, Adonis-_-? Wings? White dragon-like wings? Come on.. people are going to ask thousands of questions if they see them.\'
He then reached the place where the demi-humans were and crashed in front of them. The people were all terrified to see Viktor appearing out of nowhere and started to take pictures.
\'Tsk..they don\'t value their life at all.\'
"Oi, let that kid go."
Viktor raised his scythe and pointed its tip at the terrorist who took a little girl hostage. "Ah.. I knew this technique works so well. If I held a knife at someone, no matter where I am, a hybrid will surely find me. Ahahah!! Aahahahah!!! Keukk!!!"
Viktor\'s weapon pierced right through his devil core in a second. He lost all of his mana and dropped dead quickly. He then took out his radio to report to the headquarter and said, "This is J-12 team leader, Viktor E. North. A target has been captured and killed at X street block 2, in front of X. Please send someone to retrieve the body. Too many people are gathering here."
<J-12 team leader of Zone J. Your request for a cleaner has been accepted. Please guard the body and don\'t let any normal civilian collect any samples.>
"Roger that." He looked to his right and saw a huge group of people pointing their phones at him. They were all curious about him so someone brave came closer and asked, "May I ask for your name? Why are you killing those people?"
"So you want us to let these terrorists kill normal citizens? We\'re trying our best to keep the casualties to a minimum degree."
At that moment, the four knights appeared around him and pushed back the crowd. They made a blurry-looking barrier around him so nobody could take any pictures or collect information.
"You\'re here already. My eyes are still seeing flashes of their phones."
"I apologise for our late arrival, my lord. Please stand within the barrier for protection until the cleaners come."
\'So you heard me from that distance. I have to shut my mouth then. Or else, they\'ll hear more than they should.\'
A few miles away from Viktor, a demi-humans who was controlling the team suddenly got cut off from the connection. He was trying to reach the members but sadly, all of them were captured.
At that moment, his boss called him.
*Did you find Viktor E. North?* The boss asked.
"N..no sir..we\'re trying to get inside their house but it seems to be protected with a holy magic barrier. Moreover, we don\'t think he\'s at home. From the information that we collected, it seems like he\'s a part of a hybrid committee. And he\'s also in charge of taking down our elite members. We stand no chance against the main target."
*I see. This is very interesting. I\'ll send more reinforcement to test his ability. Retreat from your mission for now. Stay put until I give you more orders.*
"Understood." He then looked at his phone and suddenly, a stranger appeared behind him. "Well, I wonder why my master was eager to have all the fun by himself. It\'s a rat from the west. I heard that reinforcements are coming, right? Don\'t worry. They won\'t be able to cross the ocean today. So, why don\'t you just become my food today? I\'m really hungry."
Adonis sliced off his neck in a blink of an eye and tore apart a huge chunk of flesh with his sharp teeth. But sadly, he had to spit it out.
"Yuck… no wonder why master told me not to eat this. This is rubbish."
He wiped off the blood from his lips and then said, "Well, I guess I won\'t have a tasty meal this morning. I need to search for something good."
He quickly teleported to his office and called the president of the company. He became super busy with his work and other stuff.
Because the minister was pressuring him to handle the situation and he was also invited to the emergency meeting. They were all about to discuss the national hybrid rules and make new rules since the hybrids were officially announced to the public last night.
"This is too much work. But not as hard as my master\'s classes. I can deal with this easily."
He fixed his tie and then said, "Let\'s go. The reporters are already gathering at our doorstep."
The president said, "Sir, I think you should wear a mask."
"Why?" Adonis looked at his face and saw he was hiding his face with his hand. He was blushing all of a sudden.
"Ahem…! Because I\'m afraid that you\'ll charm the whole nation today."
"Hm? I don\'t care about that. If I can convince people with my dashing look, what\'s the issue?" Adonis winked at the man and again said, "I\'ll make sure to look more handsome today to annoy Viktor. I bet he\'ll slap his forehead to regret his life decision to take me in. Heheh.."
"What?"
"Nothing. Let\'s go."
Adonis walked out of the room and reunited with his employees. He was heading out to the meeting at the parliament. He was also one of the active but hidden hybrid members of the parliament.
Viktor on the other hand was looking at the blank sky with one of his team members on an edge of a building. She was a 1st-year student of the magic department and a skilled water spell caster. She was so busy last night putting out fires all over the city so she was drained out. That\'s why she asked Viktor to cover her while she takes a break.
"Um, you\'re Viktor, right?"
Viktor looked at her and said, "Yes."
"I saw your brother on the news before coming here. He\'s a really powerful man."
"Yes, he\'s very powerful."
She kept quiet for some moment and again asked, "He\'s also handsome. His beauty also matches his name. Adonis, the god of beauty and desire. Also, the god of rebirth."
Viktor was stunned to hear that from her so he asked, "You know about that? It\'s rare to find people who study Greek or Roman gods. I am really impressed."
\'Well, she\'s half right and half wrong. He\'s not a god, he\'s a demigod. And if he becomes a god after the final tournament, he\'ll become the god of destruction and lust. Not desire and beauty. His beauty is the same level as gods but he wears an invisible mask to hide about 97% of it. If he lifts that, the mortal world will go crazy and wage war just to touch him. His beauty is enough to make any mortal faint or more serious, death.\'
The girl who was laying on the edge beside him said, "It\'s not that I\'m interested in the ancient gods. I was just curious about him so I searched for his name on the internet. But what I found was something related to Greek gods. And it\'s a coincidence that the description matches your brother so much. Is he a descendent of a god or something?"
Viktor laughed a little and then said, "No, he is just a normal person like me."
Bizz…!!!
<J-12. Please report your locations. The military army is giving out rations through the airway. Please give us your location so that we can cooperate without any issues.>
"This is Lucia Mili of the J-12 team reporting. The team leader is also present on the X area rooftop. The others are also gathering."
<Thank you for your information. We\'ll reach the mentioned area in 6 minutes>
Viktor opened a can of coke and asked, "It\'s nearly 12 and they are giving out rations now? We\'ll be dismissed after 30 minutes."
He took the first sip and again asked, "Aren\'t you hungry? We have been working since 3 am without an ounce of sleep."
Lucia started to fix her makeup and replied, "I ate on my way here. My mom cooked breakfast and she was waiting near the c block down there. I just went there and she fed me. She was a little worried because I left home at that hour running."
Viktor looked at the duration she was pointing at and saw a woman with a binocular. She was checking on him because her only daughter was laying beside a boy on the edge of a high building.
She was guarding her daughter.
\'Rest assured kid-_-. It\'s not like I\'ll swallow your daughter-_-\'
Viktor then looked away and asked, \'You\'re very lucky to have such a wonderful mother. I\'m envious."
"She\'s just a stalker in my eyes. She\'s always there no matter where I am. I can\'t run away from her eyes."
"Hahaha!! That\'s what moms are. They are just worried. They aren\'t stalking."
Viktor looked at his phone and saw Adonis sending him countless messages. He was done with his meeting so he was enjoying 20 minutes of break before another meeting. He was so eager to tell him that he was on live on tv at 10 am and he was again going to be on live at 12.
\'Are you trying to make me jealous, you light bulb? Because of you, my Instagram is filled with dm requests. I don\'t even know who they are and why they are following me.\'
Viktor then called Adonis but sadly, he switched off his phone. He was busy talking with people about work.
\'Hah… What a crazy day! I can\'t believe I have to be present on the academy premises after the duty is over. Ugh… I miss my soft, warm, comfortable bed.\'
